This is mostly because of his offensive versatility, which allows him to put continual pressure on opposition defenses.
His offense is still what sets him apart from the competition, and it’s so amazing that he might just be the best offensive player in NBA history, despite how underappreciated his defense is.

While he is among the best in the NBA at several of these specific skills, there are many facets of his offensive ability that stand out, and many of which are overlooked.

The Golden State Warriors are now a dynasty thanks to Stephen Curry

who is perhaps the best offensive player of all time in two different offensive categories.


Many teams chose not to double-team Curry for the majority of the 2022 NBA Finals and regular season games.

He has a career shooting percentage of 46.5% from 10 to 16 feet and has five times exceeded 50% from this range.
In addition to being efficient from the midrange.

It is more challenging to guard Curry because of his excellent ability to score near the rim over or around bigger defenders and the fact that many slower players tend to close out later or are more easily blown past when they fully commit. By
